I'm using firefox and thunderbird as my preferred web and mail clients now.

However because of MS's dominence over the last few years you have a large number of web sites that only work in IE or exploit IE features that are not supported by FF.

So you have a situation now where the success of FF is dependent on the design and development worlds. They will need to switch to supporting the open W3C web standards that FF is built on, or revert back to the old days of coding versions of the site for each browser.

If anything MS's dominence will continue as long as they do nothing to bring IE up to date. So MS will win, but not even raising a finger to change a single line of code...
